TIG (GTAW)

• AC and DC output for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, stainless, mild steel & chrome molys.
• AC Frequency: Adjustable frequency of the AC square wave when welding on aluminum for optimized set up.
• Wave Balance: Adjustable for optimized penetration or cleaning action when welding on aluminum.
• Pulse: Changes the weld current from high to low at a specified frequency, reduces heat input on thin material.
• Preflow & Postflow: Enables independent control over shielding gas before and after the weld.
• Upslope / Downslope & Crater modes: Eliminates blow holes on starting and cracking at the end of the weld.
• Hot Start: Ensures consistent arc starting.
• HF Arc Start: Provides non-contact arc starting that eliminates tungsten or material contamination.
• Lift TIG Start: Provides optimized TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency.

STICK (SMAW)

• Fixed Hot Start & Adjustable Arc Force Control for optimum Stick electrode performance.

Other Features:

• Digital Meters: Voltage and Amperage; Preview and Hold Capability for easy set up.
• Trigger Control: 4T (Latch) eliminates operator fatigue.
• Gas Purge: Ensures gas lines are purged at start of weld.
• Comprehensive Setup Chart: Weld set up guide for optimum welding performance over a wide range of materials.
• Remote Receptacle: Enables connection of remote control devices like a foot pedal and torch slide control
• Excellent Portability: Lightweight at 48.4 lbs
